After getting Frannie from Bonita, I got engaged, got married, moved, and am expecting my first child and Frannie has been with us through it all. She has continued to grow into her affectionate, loving, and friendly personality. She has calmed down quite a bit and is still very playful. I have kept in touch with Pat all these years, she loves receiving updates and pictures of Frannie. She even came to our wedding! Still forever grateful to Bonita for giving me my first baby!

I would give 1000000000 stars if I could. Sandra is knowledgeable about her pups, is willing to…read moreshare that knowledge, is one of the fastest responders to my barrage of pre puppy questions, is a compassionate and honest breeder. I recommend her and her pups wholeheartedly and with no reservations. Both she and my new pup (just got him this weekend) are a true blessing. He is beautiful, full of Cairn spirit, sweet and healthy as can be.

Fast forward to June of 2026 when Charlie developed hip dysplasia and I called Sandra and she couldn't be more dismissive and in complete denial when all I was looking for was support, not money! I could never contact her again! So she isn't very warm, fuzzy or concerned about her pups... Charlie had a major surgery june 17 and God willing will do fine. But beware, she isn't as great once you bought the puppy

We are so thrilled with our Cavapoo, Stanley, from Hess Family Beautiful Puppies. He came to us…read morehealthy, well-socialized, and with the sweetest temperament. Stanley is amazing with kids, loves to cuddle, and just goes with the flow--he has been such a joy to our family from day one. Thanks to the early training he received from Sarah, he has slept through the night since day one, which we highly recommend adding. We couldn't be happier and highly recommend Hess Family Beautiful Puppies to anyone looking for a caring and responsible breeder.

Incredibly rude owner…read more I sent her a message on instagram asking about her upcoming dogs (if there are any) and how to work with her going forward, as I am interested in getting a puppy from a good breeder. Her messages were short, apathetic, and condescending. I asked her if there is a way I could work with her on being on a waitlist, if there is one, or connect with her on putting in a deposit, to show intent of my purchase. She would respond "I don't know" with no information. It's confusing how unprofessional and unhelpful she is, when she supposedly has a legitimate business in helping people get a dog. She had no desire to provide information or to service me. She was incredibly rude. This is not how you treat potential customers and was really taken back. I would not recommend this breeder and hope she learns to be more considerate towards people, given that she is a business owner.

They handle special requests very well and are friendly and helpful to their customers. I have boarded my dog there for weekend trips and longer vacations, and I always feel that my dog is in safe hands. The owners live on-site and keep a watchful eye on things. The facility is kept very clean and neat, and the kennel is always prepared for my dog so that the dropoff process is quick and smooth. I've recommended Taravale to many of my friends and I still would not hesitate to do so. The daily rate is also lower than average, so it's a good value.

BUYER BEWARE!!! Check the website: the rates are not mentioned. I admit, I never asked what Lisa…read morecharges. I dropped Peanut off at 11am and picked her up at 8pm. The charges were $15/hour, so I paid $135 to have Liza watch my dog for the day. to be fair, I never asked. Also, my dog was fine, Liza took good care of Peanut. However, had I known how expensive it would be, I would not have left her with Liza for 9 hours. Be sure to ask about the charges before you get involved. I feel so stupid, not asking before committing.

In these types of circumstances....one on one attention is always preferred. Other than running my own two chihuahuas out for a quick potty break...Dogs ( as well as other types of pets ) are supervised 24/7. Your furbaby lives with us in out small cozy home for their stay. In the warmer weather we may have meals out on the back porch. There is a kiddie pool to cool down in as well as a fenced in yard. Even out in the yard....everyone is always supervised. I take no chances. Your pooch is cared for as if they were my own. Pups staying weekends might go on a hike or to the lake or state park. I use long lines and never let pups off leash. Bigger pups love the adventure. We never use crates...ever! Pups may be separated using baby gates at mealtime and for brief timeouts only.

My wife and I tried to adopt a dog at this shelter in June, 2018. We chose a small female mixed…read morebreed and had nothing but problems with the attempted adoption. The manager of the shelter at the time appeared to have someone else lined up to adopt the dog but did not tell us that. I did everything I could think of to prove to him that we would give the dog a good home. I took photos of our property inside and out, showed him that we had a fenced yard, etc, etc,etc. He said someone would visit our home but that never happened. He also said he would call when a decision was made and that also never happened. We ended up adopting a seven year old (Approximate) Yorkie (Blossom) from the Brennan Humane Society in Gloversville and could not have been happier with the adoption. Blossom recently passed due to age after giving us seven years of love, affection and happiness. Each year she travelled back and forth to FL with us and was never a problem. We will miss her terribly. Bill Lair
